Textile Programming Continues with Quilt Documentary

Event Details

From October 21 through November 13 the Charleston Museum continues its historic textiles programming with a newly released nine-part documentary series in which numerous quilts from this museum's collection appear. For the quilter, collector or even casual observer, each episode explores the centrality of the quilt in American culture and reveals the unsuspected size, breadth, and depth of the current quilt phenomenon.
